Swizzels Retro Sweet Hamper: Review
AD – I was sent the products shown in this post for review purposes.
Sweets are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. There is nothing quite like getting your hands on a good selection, to enjoy.
So when I was asked if I would like to check out one of the gift selections Swizzels have on offer and I just had to say yes!
Who are Swizzels?

Swizzels is perhaps one of the most recognised sweet brands in the UK. Offering sweets such as; Love Hearts, Rainbow Drops, Refreshers, Drumsticks and so many more.
As a brand, Swizzels was established in London in 1928. However, during WWII it was relocated to New Mills in Derbyshire. They moved into a former textiles mill, over 150 years old which had been rebuilt in 1883 after a large fire. This was originally meant to be a temporary move, however, they are still based there.
Over the years, they have made many different sweets, especially with Love Hearts to celebrate special occasions. Such as Will and Kates wedding and Prince George’s birth.
These days as well as being sold in stores across the UK, they also sell from their own online Swizzels shop. Where you can buy direct from the factory, with many items being able to be specially personalised.
Personalised Retro Premium Red Sweet Hamper

I was kindly sent the Personalised Retro Premium Red Sweet Hamper to try.

- Rainbow Drops
- Parma Violets

- Refreshers
- and more!
This delicious parcel of goodies comes in at £12.99, with the shop offering free postage when you spend over £6.99.
Overall Thoughts.

I was amazed by the number of sweets that were tucked into the box (this image just shows some), especially for the price.
Due to the range of products included, I think there would be something for most tastes. Due to the offering of a selection of flavours across the sweets.
Personally, I feel like a box such as this one would make for a really nice gift idea for a sweet lover.
When it comes to Swizzels Shop itself I am impressed by the wide range available. You can even choose to shop by vegan and halal-friendly options. With each hamper clearly listing its suitability for a range of dietary requirements. It is also easy to navigate and search on.
As such if you are buying for a sweet lover, I can definitely suggest checking out this website.
